Dairy Queen employee stands up for blind customer after an 'older lady' stole the $20 he unknowingly dropped on the floor

A Dairy Queen employee has received a virtual shout out after he stood up for a blind customer.

A fellow customer witnessed the interaction and wrote an email to the store which was then printed, posted on the store, and then photographed and posted on Reddit.

The good deed came as a result of a cruel move.

An employee at the Hopkins, Minnesota Dairy Queen store saw 'an older lady' steal a $20 bill from a blind customer when they unknowingly dropped it on the floor.

'She as well as everyone else in the store knew that it was dropped by the gentleman when he was struggling to find his pocket and put his change away,' the anonymous customer's email read.

The employee, identified only as a 19-year-old named Joey, then confronted the thief.

'She told your employee that it was her money and she dropped it. Your employee asked her again to return the money to its rightful owner. She declined to do so. He then asked her to leave the store as he would not serve some (sic) as disrespectful as her,' the email read.

'She got extremely angry and began to swear at your employee, he stayed calmed and never gave her any attitude.'

Rather than stop there, the employee made sure he was able to right the wrong.

The blind man had taken his food and sat down inside the store to eat it and Joey went over to him and opened his wallet, giving him $20 of his own saying that he wanted to give him the money 'on behalf of Dairy Queen' before promising that it had the same face value as the bill he dropped.

'I was in shock by the generosity that your employee had, taking his own money out of his own wallet to give to the customer because some other lady decided to steal something that wasn't hers,' the customer wrote.

'I would proudly like to say that Joey has forever sealed my fate as a lifelong customer of the Mainstreet Dairy Queen.'
